Floatplane docked aerial looking over Six Mile Lake
Logistics

Three flights to a
place few people see.

Anchorage. Iliamna. Six Mile Lake. From the moment you land in Alaska, we handle the rest.

Getting here

From the city to the river.

01
Anchorage

Land at ANC.

Fly into Ted Stevens Anchorage International. Most guests overnight in Anchorage and fly out to the lodge the next morning. We can recommend hotels.

02
Anchorage → Iliamna

Bush flight to the bay.

A short scheduled flight on one of Alaska's regional carriers takes you from Anchorage to Iliamna, on the shore of Lake Iliamna. Roughly 90 minutes.

03
Iliamna → Lodge

Final hop to Six Mile Lake.

Our floatplane meets you in Iliamna and flies you the last leg to Newhalen Lodge in Nondalton. You're on the water within the hour.
